Detailed description of the issue and steps to reproduce

Hi there,

I have pre-wiring done for a 7.1 speaker system in my new home.

I am looking for a home theater system which could be wired in but should also connect to my phone in addition to the television. But all this within my budget of 1500 max.

Any suggestions how I can get the best sound system?

Some (probably naive) thoughts I have - 

- Can I buy a Bose home theater basic one and add bluetooth to it?

- would the sound still be good if I use my older Sony speakers and add them to a new Bose sound bar etc?

 

Thanks!

RG

Where do you run into the issue?

 

When did you start to experience the issue? Did it work correctly previously?

 

Any troubleshooting steps you took

 

 

Bose does not sell any 7.1 systems.  If I was you, I would purchase a Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system and a 3rd party Dolby Atmos receiver.  This will give you Dolby Digital 5.1 and within your limited budget.  Later, you could add a secondary Bose system or Bose overhead speakers for a Dolby Atmos 7.1.2, 7.2.2, 7.1.4, 7.2.4 sytem, etc. or 5.1.2, 5.2.2, 5.1.4, 5.2.4, up to the limitations of the receiver you purchase.
